Toms River Parade To Be On Halloween
By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – The 79th Annual Toms River Halloween Parade, sponsored by the Toms River Volunteer Fire Company No. 1 since its inception, is on Tuesday, October 31 this year starting at 7 p.m. A rain date is set for November 1. A true community event, the non-profit parade is a yearly tradition for all local high school marching bands and community floats. For some families, the parade is old news. For others, it might be something new and exciting. Either way, the Toms River Halloween Parade dates way, way back – to October 31, 1919. Led by local veterans who served in World War I, over 500 people marched in it, and then joined a block party along Robbins and Water streets that featured dancing, children’s games, cider and donuts. In the 1950s, the party relocated to a parking lot, on grounds that are now the Toms River Municipal Building. There were some gaps. The parade was put on hold during the 1930s due to lack of funds, and once again in the 1940s during World War II because of labor shortages and blackout (Parade - See Page 7)

Officer Remembered For His Compassion
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – Police and community members are mourning one of their own, as Officer Brett Hansen succumbed to injuries from an off-duty crash that occurred months earlier. Hansen, 28, was involved in an off-duty collision on the Garden
State Parkway on Jan. 4. According to police, it was through a team of surgeons and a miracle that he survived that night. Ultimately, after months of fighting to recover, the injuries were too much. He graduated the Ocean County Police Academy in 2012. He

Arts: Continued From Page 4 performing in front of local officials who were officially announcing the eventual construction of the Performing Arts Academy on the grounds of Ocean County College. Their songs and dance number was just a preview of what was to come when the school finally finds a home there. Currently, the academy is stationed at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. The school is distant from everything else, and difficult to travel to and from. The new school would be built in front of the current Jay and Linda Grunin Center. Ocean County Vocational Technical School Superintendent William P. Hoey Jr. said that the grounds between the center and parking lot will be extended, taking up some of the parking, for the building. The building will be used by college classes at night. The academy will allow performing arts Vo-Tech students to earn both a high school diploma and an Associate’s Degree at the same time. Hoey told a story of walking through the halls of the current performing arts academy. When classes let out, kids poured into the halls. Many of them were singing. This is just something that happens when creative kids are given a chance to express themselves. “It’s a tribute to the kind of education that they’ve chosen,” he said. And “chosen” might be the most important part of that. When kids have a hand in their own education, they are driven to excel. It’s that kind of excitement, on display on stage at the event, that will prompt them to succeed, he said. The Performing Arts Academy, as well as the county’s Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science, are federally recognized Blue Ribbon schools, he said. Placing the academy in a state-of-the-art building will give it even more potential. OCC President Jon Larson said this will be a transformative experience for both schools, “making us the envy of other counties.” Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari touted the cooperation between the vo-tech, OCC, county government, and the Grunin Foundation. Students that will graduate from the future academy will look back at the opportunities that were given here, he said. It will provide them the training for future careers – some of which don’t even exist yet. “Towns and cities aspire to be places where

The Toms River Times, October 7, 2017, Page 5 people want to live and visit. A vibrant and flourishing arts culture is certainly a way to distinguish a community from the sameness that permeates so much of our national landscape,” said Jay Grunin, co-founder and co-chair of the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation. The school will be a place for creative students to develop their own unique needs, and explore new subject matters and cultures, he said. It will also provide the skills and mindset to succeed in the 21st century job market. “Arts education not only enhances students’ understanding of the world around them, but it also broadens their perspective on traditional academics. The arts give us the creativity to express ourselves while challenging our intellect. The arts integrate life and learning for all students, and are essential for the development of the whole person,” he said. The goal is to be completed in December of 2019, so students could start in January of 2020, Hoey said. However, if there are construction delays, the first classes would be held in September of 2020. There would be high school students on the same campus as adult college students, but Hoey said every precaution will be made to keep the students safe. There will be chaperones for common areas like lunch and library time. They won’t have freshmen roaming free, but the access to the college increases more as they age. A lot of high school students are already on campus during the day and night, as OCC has been reaching out to schools to accelerate education, he said. Financing And Naming Rights The state will fund $10.6 million toward the funding of the construction. Ocean County and the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation will each contribute $8 million. OCC will provide $2 million. However, there would still be the cost of programming and expansion of education that is currently done. This would cost an estimated $5 million, said Jeremy Grunin, president of his parents’ foundation. So, the foundation is kicking off a fundraising drive for this. “We are willing to forego the naming rights” of the building, he said. A donor who would contribute $2.5 out of the total $5 million would secure the naming rights of the building. “It is not an act of vanity but an act of leadership,” he said. Sponsoring an educational endeavor like this is meant to inspire giving in others.

Parade: Continued From Page 4 rules – but it recovered. Today, more than 6,000 people take part in the annual parade and over 10,000 spectators crowd Main and Washington streets to watch marching bands, decorated cars and floats, and ghosts and goblins march through downtown Toms River. It is the second largest Halloween parade in the world, dwarfed only by the annual Halloween parade in New York City’s Greenwich Village. “I have lived all over the country, and I’ve never seen a parade like the one we have here in Toms River,” said former Dover Township committeeman Clarence “Bud” Aldrich III, who also recalls people asking him if Toms River is the place where they have that Halloween Parade while vacationing in Hawaii. Toms River’s parade is run by a committee of Fire Company No. 1 members, while Fire Company No. 2 steps in to provide fi re protection for the event. Aside from the traditional parade divisions of best costume, best decorated float, and youngest and oldest marcher, a new division will be added for best representation of the book Station Eleven,

The Toms River Times, October 7, 2017, Page 7 which students in Toms River Regional Schools are reading as part of a grant awarded by the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) Big Read program. The book describes a post-apocalyptic world where a flu pandemic wipes out the population and a traveling symphony forms, putting on Shakespeare plays to keep the arts and humanities alive for what few people remain. Costumes reflecting post-apocalyptic worlds,
Shakespeare, emergency preparedness, traveling symphonies, and the book’s connection to Superstorm Sandy five years later are encouraged. Also new this year is a parade division for best decorated family pet, both walking on a leash and while riding on a float. Individuals, community organizations, scout groups and emergency service organizations are encouraged to register and march in the parade, but all individuals
and apparatuses must be in costume or decorated festively. Politics of any kind are not allowed in the parade. Registration will take place at the Toms River Volunteer Fire Co. #1 Firehouse, 26 Robbins Street, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 31. It is free, but donations are gladly accepted.

OPINIONS & COMMENTARY Letters To The Editor
F EATURED L ETTER Traffic Nightmare On Princeton Ave. For the past seven or eight years, the traffic on Princeton Ave. in Brick has become a nightmare. The speed limit says 40 miles an hour while there are times the cars are doing 46 to 50 miles an hour. Princeton Ave. is a residential area. The volume of the traffic is because the people are using Princeton Ave. to avoid Route 88 which is 35 miles an hour (and is a commercial road) while trying to get to Point Pleasant. The majority of the people do not live on or off Princeton Ave. The cars come in caravans of 7 to 19 or more all day, every day seven days a week. Trying to cross Princeton Ave. is at your own risk because the caravan of cars is coming both ways. Then there are people driving in the bike lane while trying to get around a car that is trying to make a turn off Princeton Ave. These people don’t even slow down – they continue their same speed. These drivers are sometimes very abusive to the people walking or riding their bikes in the bike lane. There are fewer people walking, jogging or riding their bikes anymore because they don’t feel safe. Princeton Ave. has very few sidewalks – hence walking or jogging in the bike lane.
Then we have the problem of trying to get out of our development. First there are the cars speeding through a red light. I live on Princeton Pines Place. When trying to go straight across Princeton Ave. to Post Road, that’s another nightmare. We have to fight the people making a right turn onto Post Road even though they have a red light but they continue to speed around the corner. They need a “No Turn On Red” sign at this corner. Sometimes we have to slam on our brakes to avoid an accident even though we have the light. But these people just keep going. I addressed these concerns with the town over two years ago but nothing has changed. If anything, the situation has only gotten worse. There are more cars, trucks, and even big commercial trailers. The summer months always bring more traffic and then there is the Farmers’ Market on Saturdays at Windward Beach during the four summer months. The traffic is horrible on Saturdays during the summer. This issue needs to be addressed before a major causality occurs. Elizabeth Schuckman Brick

Not A Vote For Trump In reference to John Cardello’s recent letter, I feel I must respond even though his “facts” are questionable at best. About his reference to the great job Trump is doing; we learn from the Gallup. com poll: Trump’s most recent weekly average approval rating is 38 (from Sept. 11-17, 2017) From Newsweek: “Trump’s approval rating is bad – like, historically bad. The weighted average from data-focused website FiveThirtyEight pegged it at just 37 percent on Friday – Day 197 of his presidency. No other president in the history of modern polling has had an approval rating so dismal on Day 197.” President Trump regularly boasts about the stock market’s strong performance since his inauguration. What Trump hasn’t noted, however, is that Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush oversaw greater stock market expansion during their first six months in office, as judged by percentage growth of the S&P 500. As for the Russian investigation being over, Mr. Cardello, surely you must have been sipping the Kool-Aid or taking a page from Trump’s “alternative facts.” The New York Times three days ago, headlined “Mueller Seeks White House Documents Related to Trump’s Actions
Letters To The Editorthey will no longer take fullas President.” The article goes on to say, “The document requests provide the most details to date about the breadth of Mr. Mueller’s investigation, and show that several aspects of his inquiry are focused squarely on Mr. Trump’s behavior in the White House.” This article is dated Sept. 20, 2017, so the investigation is certainly not over even though Trump and Mr. Cardello wish it to be so. About food stamps (SNAP) you boasted that there are fewer people on food stamps. One can certainly state that there could be less people on food stamps because Trump cut the budget for eligible recipients. Nearly half of SNAP recipients are children. That’s 20 million kids – about 1 in 4 Americans under the age of 18. The 42 million Americans – 13 percent of the population – who currently receive SNAP benefits, which include low income families, the elderly (about 11 percent of SNAP recipients are seniors) people with disabilities, and those who have lost a job. They receive an average of about $4.17 per day, or $1.39 per meal. (from modernfarmer. com) Surely you cannot be proud of taking food out of their mouths. All in all, Mr. Cardello, I do not wish to be in your rising boat that purportedly lifts us all. Neither do I wish to be in the Trump one that is sinking. Rosemary Doherty Berkeley

Barnegat Meeting A Farce In case you missed the Barnegat Township Committee Meeting on Sept. 5, here’s some details. It was a complete farce…nothing more than a campaign-style “rally” meeting, a la Trump, where each of the committee members gave a stump speech promoting their “greatness.” I would, however, like to give them some credit on two issues which we in the township had been strongly and vociferously advocating for over the last 10-15 years. They finally listened to us and made some renovations to our public parks and, after all these years, the committee members announced that
time health benefits. On this last issue of the health benefits, I would like to highlight two relevant, somewhat hypocritical and misplaced comments made by our committee members at the meeting last Tuesday. Mr. Novak had the audacity to state that he is a “true public servant” because he is generously refusing to take these health benefits. Why didn’t he refuse them the last three years and also when he was on the committee several years ago? Mr. Bille, from the dais of our Township Committee meeting as mayor, inappropriately “thanked” their two candidates for refusing to take these health benefits. This ploy is purely a campaign strategy and should be seen as such. Campaign matters have no place at a Township Committee meeting. The last issue I wanted to discuss in this letter is one about which, our entire town is up-in-arms….the huge municipal tax increases we have experienced over the last 10-15 years – years in which both Mr. Cirulli and Mr. Novak served as mayor and/or Township Committee members and voted on all the budgets during their tenures. If we just take 2016 vs 2015 municipal taxes – they increased by $2.2 Million (10% year-over-year). Looking back on previous years we see the same irresponsible spending. Every year residents stand up and ask for answers to these unacceptable spending patterns and the Township Committee continues to dance around the issue. Well, I think it’s time for new voices in Barnegat and the only way we’ll get them is if you go to the ballot box and make it happen. We have had a one-party Township Committee in Barnegat for far too long and it’s time to make some changes. Vote on November 7. That’s the only way we can begin to affect change in Barnegat.

McGuckin Seeking Input From Sandy Damaged Homeowners Capitol Comments Assemblyman Gregory McGuckin 10th Legislative District, Serving Toms River
NEW JERSEY – Assemblyman McGuckin of the 10 th Legislative District, will be introducing a bill to provide a tax break to homeow ners who have
paid JCP&L a nd Ver izon for utility pole modifications resulting from post-Sandy home elevations. The 10 th Legislative District Office wants to
hear f rom homeow ners who have elevated their homes and subsequently paid utility companies for these pole modifications. As a result of Superstorm Sandy, homeowners have been forced to elevate their homes to prevent future f looding and damage to their property. These newly raised homes require utility poles to be modified and raised as well. This has resulted in homeowners
having to pay out of pocket to both JCP&L and Verizon for these alterations. In some cases the cost of these alterations has exceeded $20,000. “A number of our constituents have contacted us stating that, after they have elevated their homes, they are now being required to foot the bill for JCP&L to raise their utility poles to correspond with the newly raised homes,”
said McGuckin. “We have witnessed cases where the homeowner is responsible for a bill ranging from $6000 -$20,000. These numbers are astronomical and an immense burden on individual homeowners.” “With this legislation we would provide a tax break for people who have paid JCP&L and Verizon for these pole modifications after raising their homes,” c o n t i n u e d Mc G u c k i n .
Macarthur Announces Ocean County Designated As High Drug Trafficking Area From The Desk Of
Congressman Tom MacArthur NEW JERSEY – Congressman Tom MacArthur, Republican Chair of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, has announced that the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) has designated Ocean County
as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Recently, Congressman Tom MacArthur led a letter to the ONDCP urging the addition of Ocean County to the HIDTA program and has met with local, county,
state and federal law enforcement officials to discuss the importance of the designation. Additionally, the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, which he co-chairs, successfully fought against drastic budget cuts to the ONDCP and the HIDTA program. This designation helps coordinate joint efforts among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, and provides funds for resources needed to combat drug
trafficking in problem areas. “Ocean County has been devastated by drug addiction,” said Congressman Tom MacA r thu r. “Last year, 190 Ocean County residents died from an overdose – that’s one death every 43 hours. Our local law enforcement officials are on the front lines of this fight and need help to get dealers off our streets and stop drugs from flowing into our communities. This designation is critical
for Ocean County and will ensure our police officers have the assistance and resources they need to save loved ones. I will continue to fight for our community and support local law enforcement in their effort to protect our neighborhoods and rid our streets of drugs and the criminals who profit from ruining people’s lives.” “Drug trafficking is a national problem that has to be add ressed on the

local level, and adding these counties to the HIDTA program is a critical part of this effort,” said Richard Baum, Acting Director of National Drug Cont rol Policy. “These new designations and the funding they will bring will help our federal, state, and local law enforcement officers work together to disrupt and dismantle the trafficking networks that are bringing drugs into our communities.”
Homestead Benefit Applications Due In November
NEW JERSEY – Assemblyman Edward H. “Ned” Thomson is urging residents to watch their mailboxes for their Homestead Benefit applications, which have been mailed by the state and should be arriving soon. “The Homestead Benefit program offers valuable property tax relief for eligible homeowners,” said Thomson. “Many homeowners are struggling with their property tax bills and this benefit can help ease that burden.” The program is available to New Jersey residents who have lived in and owned their home since October 1, 2015 and have paid their property taxes for that year.
In addition, residents 65 and older or who are disabled must have a gross income for 2015 of not more than $150,000. Those under the age of 65 who are not disabled must have an income that does not exceed $75,000. The income limits apply to an individual or a married couple who live in the same household. According to the New Jersey Division of Taxation, nearly all homeowners must file their application by phone or online using the directions provided in the mailed packet. In addition, they can apply online at njtaxation.org or by phone at 877-658-2972. The Homestead Benefit is
different from the Senior Freeze, which is a separate program with different requirements and schedules. Thomson noted that applications are due on November 30 and urged residents to contact the Division or his office if they have questions or did not receive their application. “Property taxes are tremendous burden and I want to make sure every resident of my district gets the property tax relief they deserve,” said Thomson. “I urge everyone to apply for their Homestead Benefit by the deadline and to contact my office if they have any questions or problems applying for this program.”
For questions, residents can visit state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/homestead/
geninf.shtml or call 888238-1233. Assemblyman Thomson’s office can be
reached at 732-974-0400 or via email at AsmThomson@njleg.org.

IDENTICAL TWINS, IDENTICAL VISION
Identical twins, which come from the same fertilized egg, are of the same sex and have identical genetic constitution. This means that their eyes are as identical as their hair color. According to a study of 69 sets of twins (36 of whom were identical), researchers found that, even though some of the individuals were over age 50, the identical twins’ eyes were identical right down to the smallest details. This finding bolsters past research showing that about 80% of the variance in myopia (nearsightedness) and 50% of the variance of astigmatism (abnormal curvature of the cornea) is genetic in origin. The studies suggest that environmental factors do not exert as much of an effect on eyes as many believe. Some eye diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of any problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. To schedule an eye exam, please call SUSSKIND & ALMALLAH EYE ASSOCIATES, P.A. at 732-349-5622.

TOMS RIVER – The Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce has named the Toms River Regional School District its 2017 “Distinguished Organization of the Year.” In a notification letter to Superintendent David Healy, the Chamber wrote, “This honor is bestowed upon individuals and/or organizations which have shown community concern and demonstrated outstanding, unselfish service in single or multiple fields in the civic, social, legal, cultural, religious, educational, governmental, health, athletic or business life of the Greater Toms River area.” Strides made by the district in recent years have led to noticeable growth and a banner year in 2017. Career Academies opened at each of the three high schools this September. The district has established and enhanced numerous community partnerships to the benefit of students and families. Schools have won national recognition for character, technology and performance. Grant awards have provided considerable amounts of alternative funding, raised the district’s profile in the arena of highly competitive applications and, most importantly, positively impacted student achievement. Negative factors such as dropout rates, suspension rates and chronic absenteeism have markedly dropped while student performance related to advanced placement participation and SAT scores have increased. Additionally, with the support of the Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce, Toms River Schools has worked to cultivate a strong school-town connection. Local business leaders have advisory roles in the ongoing development of the Career Academies, and direct student-to-business relationships are being explored. Schools are pursuing increased involvement with the town’s art council in order to enhance the downtown area aesthetically, culturally, and with increased opportunities for students. The district has worked extensively with area businesses and municipalities to develop and maximize the impact of community-wide events such as Jersey Shore Makerfest, NEA Big Read, the Harvest Festival, Halloween Parade, and many more. District personnel are members of the township’s Green Team, which strives to make Toms River a more environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient community. All of these factors played a role in the district earning the prestigious designation, but its resume of recent accomplishments goes even deeper. Earlier this month, Toms River
Regional Schools published “Our Story,” a comprehensive document detailing its recent accomplishments and future plans. “This outstanding recognition is the direct result of the vision and support of our Board of Education and the hard work and dedication of our teachers, paraprofessionals, students, families, support staff, administrators, and our partners throughout Toms River,” said Healy. “Our investment in our instructional staff-through increased and in-depth training and professional development has been a sound one, and our teachers exemplify what it means to have a student-centered approach. I cannot stress enough how proud I am to lead this district, and each of the remarkable people who comprise it should feel as honored as I do to accept this award, which I do on their behalf. “Although it has a small town feel, Toms River is not a small community. I know firsthand the vast number of worthy organizations eligible for this honor, which makes this all the more humbling and gratifying. We share this distinction with the many community partners who help us reach our goals each and every day.” The school district will accept the honor at an October 19 ceremony hosted by the Chamber and held at Waters Edge in Berkeley Township. The Distinguished Organization of the Year is one of five awards to be presented that evening, among them the Distinguished Citizen award (Ralph Wolff) and Nonprofit of the Year (Georgian Court University). More information on the event including reservations and sponsorship opportunities is available on the Chamber’s website. “The Toms River Board of Education recognizes the important role the Chamber of Commerce plays in Toms River,” said Board President Ben Giovine. “The Board is grateful to have its commitment to preparing students for college and career recognized by our local business owners. We also congratulate our teachers, support staff and central administration led by Mr. Healy whose hard work and unwavering commitment to our children and school community is being recognized by this honor.” For more information about the Greater Toms River Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Awards Reception, visit tomsriverchamber. com/annual-awards-reception.

Citta Elementary School after winning first place in the Camp Kids Against Hunger challenge. By Sara Grillo TOMS RIVER – This was the first year that Toms River Recreation competed in Fulfill NJ’s annual Camp Kids Against Hunger challenge, which encourages students to raise food donations and awareness for their fellow classmates wo may be struggling over the summer break. The “rookie” title didn’t seem to bother Toms River’s camp kids, however, as day camps at Citta, Cedar Grove, West Dover and Silver Bay Elementary Schools teamed up to collect a whopping 2,872 pounds of food during the challenge – earning them first place. “The Toms River Recreation Summer Program is outstanding, with nearly 600 children participating each year,” said Toms River
Mayor Thomas F. Kelaher. “I’m delighted to see that our kids took first place in the Camp Kids Against Hunger Program at Fulfill as a rookie team. The effort of these children is a direct reflection of their home life and proves that Toms River is a great place to live, work and raise a family.” Throughout the summer-long challenge, a total of 7,413 pounds of food was collected at day camps across the shore. That amount of food could feed meals to 6,177 children and adults in both Monmouth and Ocean Counties. According to Fulfill, formerly the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, this was a record-breaking year that doubled the amount of food brought in last year by camp kids.

Keeping Your Ears In Good Shape
We all know that exercise is good for keeping our bodies in good shape. There is more and more evidence that exercising our ears is also good for keeping our hearing in good shape. A number of studies in the United States and abroad have demonstrated that individuals with hearing loss in both ears, who only use one hearing aid, tend to maintain or improve their ability to understand words in the ear with the hearing aid. The ear without the hearing aid tends to decline in word recognition ability. This decline is not a change in hearing sensitivity, but rather is a decline in the ability to process the complex speech signal simply through the lack of use. In my opinion, there are several reasons for this phenomenon: 1. The ear without the hearing aid is not being “exercised” very much and 2. The area of the brain involved in hearing is not being used and becomes less effective at
2145 Whitesville Road • Toms River, New Jersey 08755
www.springoaktomsriver.com
processing speech information. This gradual decline in speech recognition ability usually reverses itself once the ear gets more stimulation (normally through the use of a hearing aid). Research in England suggests this process of gradual improvement in speech understanding may take four to six weeks after the hearing aid fitting, and may continue for up to 12 weeks. What does this mean to someone with hearing loss? Over the past 10 years, the results of a number of studies suggests the following: 1. The longer a hearing loss is ignored, the greater effect. 2. The sooner a hearing loss is treated, the easier the adjustment. 3. In almost all cases, two hearing aids are better than one. Two hearing aids will keep both ears and both sides of the brain actively involved in hearing. 4. Improved hearing may take a little time and patience.

H ERE ’ S T O Y OUR H EALTH Dear Pharmacist Suzy Cohen, R. Ph.
How Magnesium Helps You Breathe And Be Happy
By Suzy Cohen, R. Ph. Magnesium participates as a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in your body which comes as a surprise to people who think that FDA-approved medications hold a clinical edge over nutrients. Medications tend to steal the show, but I can’t name one drug that functions in 300 metabolic processes in your body. Not one! Even the National Institutes of Health says magnesium is necessary to help maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keep your heart rhythm steady, support a healthy immune and bronchial system and keep your bones strong so your hip doesn’t give out. According to a survey by the U.S. government 75 percent of American adults have a magnesium-deficient diet. That’s three out of four of you. It’s getting worse due to the massive coffee consumption because compounds in coffee are ‘drug muggers’ of magnesium. Human deficiencies occur more often because the soil is very deficient in magnesium, so the salad that grows in the soil isn’t soaking up as much mag as it used to back in the day! When you eat it, it’s not as nutritious. Magnesium levels impact one hugely important organ in your body, your heart! Everyone is so afraid of a heart attack and yet, I bet you don’t know that a low level of magnesium is associated with an increased level of C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP is a marker for type of inflammation and it’s a silent killer. High CRP levels are associated with heart disease.
Has anyone ever tested your RBC magnesium levels if you have asthma? The reason I ask is because low magnesium levels have long been associated with several adverse, dangerous lung conditions. Even a recent study confirmed how low levels of magnesium and vitamin D are associated with an increased incidence of severe breathing difficulties! Sadly, most patients are put on inhalers for their entire lifetime, without ever getting tested to see if low mag is contributing. A low magnesium level can damage your brain and mood. In my book, Headache Free, I provided research to show how magnesium can reduce headache frequency, while improving mood and restorative sleep. No surprise there… magnesium is needed to create dopamine, serotonin and other happy brain chemicals. But a very common mistake is taking the wrong form. You will need the kind of magnesium that actually gets into your brain, like the “threonate” form, as opposed to the laxative form of magnesium like “citrate” which slides through your colon. I have much more to share with you about magnesium’s role in women’s health, bone integrity and cardiovascular disease so I’m inviting you to my website (suzycohen.com) to sign up for my newsletter. When you do that, I’ll email the longer version of this article. You do need to read it because three out of four American’s are magnesium deficient, so if it’s not you, then three of your relatives are deficient and that means their heart and brain are at risk.

By Chris Lundy STAFFORD – The county’s Meals on Wheels location in Lakewood will be moved to Stafford after the Southern Service Center will be renovated to accommodate the entire program. Already, the southern center, located on Route 9 just south of Route 72, holds a lot of other services. Adult day care, senior services, for example. There are offices for the county clerk, surrogate, and Veterans Service Bureau, and the State Housing and Rental Assistance Program (SHRAP). The St. Francis Center on Long Beach Island also operates a satellite out of the building. Despite all this going on, there will be more. The county is investing into the center to expand the kitchen in order to have it provide meals for everyone who needs assistance in Ocean County. In doing so, the county will be taking Meals on Wheels out of the Lakewood facility off of Clifton Avenue.
The southern site is five times the size of the northern one in Lakewood. Residents can still come and pick up meals in Lakewood, county administrator Carl Block said. There just won’t be deliveries from that location. “Traffic is terrible. The kitchen is smaller. Parking is almost non-existent,” Block said. It’s also in such a densely-built area that it can’t expand. Whereas Stafford is on wide open acreage. “There’s enough room for a whole production center there,” he said. Although having Stafford be the hub of the entire operation would add some time to meal deliveries in the northern end of the county, it’s not as much is you consider the amount of time Lakewood drivers spend in traffic and looking for parking, he said. The ceiling will be lowered so that a fi re suppression system can be installed. The lower ceiling will also make acoustics better for speaking events. There will be room for storage, including storage of meals that can be kept at room temperature, given out over extended holidays or in emergencies. Additional refrigeration and a loading dock will also be included. There will be updated communication technology for when it is used as a headquarters during an emergency. There will also be more administrative space for clients. During the upgrades, the meals will still be produced, mostly out of Lakewood, but also out of Stafford. Jackie Rohan, director of the office of senior services, said that the county provides about 1,000-1,100 meals a day. The nice thing about the Stafford location is that there’s a large area for people to “meet to eat.” It’s important to address people’s social needs as well as their nutritional ones. They could be living in a senior community of hundreds or thousands of people and still not have any connections to anyone else. They’ll also often have a presentation or activity for them when they come in. Some get transportation to arrive and some are independent enough to drive. Social services set up tables so people can talk to them, such as the health department, ombudsman, consumer affairs, Interfaith and RWJ Barnabas Health. Meals on Wheels is more than just delivering food, Rohan said. When delivery people go out to homes, they might be the only person who comes into that home on a regular basis. This provides a needed social element for homebound seniors. It also provides an early warning system. These delivery people know to look for red flags that would indicate that the homeowner needs help. They get to know the people, and therefore can tell if something is wrong. The drivers might be the fi rst to notice if a senior has memory issues or other health problems. If they are having issues with independence, providing a free meal means they (Meals - See Page 21)

Meals: Continued From Page 20 don’t have to cook, she added. It might not be safe to have some of them operating stoves. They provide one meal a day, but some seniors split it up, and have half for dinner. They run Monday through Friday, but there are also many who get meals on the weekend. The goal of senior services is to look at the whole person, and make sure they are physically and psychologically able to do what they need to do, and have socialization, she said. The Stafford center goes a long way in meeting those needs. According to the 2010 census, there were 121,104 people 65 and older living in Ocean County. Freeholder Director Joseph Vicari said it’s a prime location, close to Route 9, Route 72, and the Garden State Parkway. That makes it relatively easy to get to and for delivery drivers to get to other spots in the county.
The Toms River Times, October 7, 2017, Page 21 Since there are two generators on site, it can be used as a shelter, he said. In fact, the National Guard was stationed there during Superstorm Sandy. State police helicopters can land on the property to evacuate seriously injured people. “It is less expensive to provide food for one-year for a senior then it is to cover the cost of a day in an emergency room,” Vicari said. Vicari also responded to people’s fears that the federal funding for a lot of health or senior programs could be cut off. “The people in Ocean County are not going to starve. We will always protect the frail, elderly, and disabled.” The county opened the center in 2011. It used to be St. Mary’s Parish. The senior nutrition site came two years later. The county will bond $1 million to upgrade it, he said. Yezzi Associates are doing the architectural work. Staff from that group took input from the cooks and other employees at the facility to make their plans. The work is expected to be completed next year.

Police Respond To Possible Data Breach
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – After a malfunction, some documents on a police database were potentially able to be accessed by non-police, according to a statement released by Chief Mitch Little. The incident began on Aug. 2, when it was discovered that the Computer Assisted Dispatch server was not working right and would not start when rebooted. “Toms River immediately launched an investigation and retained third-party forensic experts to assist in the investigation and determine whether information on the server was potentially accessible to unknown individuals,” the chief wrote. This server was used for the town’s Spillman database, which is public safety software. An independent investigation
determined that the contents of this database was not subject to unauthorized access, Little said. However, it was learned that certain documents could have been accessed. These documents were uploaded to the server and attached to case files. “On Sept. 7, after a lengthy programmatic and manual review, Toms River determined the types of protected information contained in the documents and to which individuals the information relates, and immediately launched a review of its files to ascertain address information for the impacted individuals,” the statement read. “Toms River will be mailing notices to the approximately 3,700 individuals whose information was contained in these potentially compromised documents.”
Officer: Continued From Page 4
He got along well with the other officers, he said. He followed West Virginia college football and baseball, and was a fan of the Yankees and Giants. Gallipoli recalled ragging on him for his diet that seemed to consist almost entirely of candy. “That’s all this guy ate.” Once, he was forced to sit down and eat a turkey sandwich with fries. He took one bite of a sandwich, drowned his fries in ketchup and ate those. Of course, there was at least one time that he had a real meal, and there was photographic evidence of it. He sat down to lunch at Al’s Pizza on Route 9. A father and daughter walked in and saw him eating alone. The 6-year-old girl decided she would go talk to him. According to police, “The little girl walked up to Brett to say hello and they chatted for about ten minutes, all along smiling and enjoying the conversation. This is the kind of police officer and man Brett was, the kind we all strive to be. He will be dearly missed by all.” Sadly, the photo was taken just days before the crash. “That’s the kind of guy he was,” Gallipoli said. “He defi nitely was in the right profession. I think about the lives he would have touched.”
started as an officer in the Camden County Police Department in 2013 before joining Toms River in 2015. His parents, James and Laurie, raised Brett and his brother, Tyler, in Brick. A statement from the police said “He and his family are among the most humble and respectful people we’ve ever known. Brett was known to drop whatever he was doing to help others with whatever they needed. He was described as a ‘true blessing to his family and the neighborhood.’ This was clear to anyone who had met Brett and to his coworkers. Above all, it was his dedication and unwavering love to his family that was truly inspiring. Much of Brett’s off duty time was spent with them and his extended family.” “He cared genuinely about people he spoke to. And they knew it,” said Mike Gallipoli, Hansen’s Field Training Officer. “It was unique. It was something that couldn’t be coached.” This compassion let him be able to defuse tense situations. “He would show empathy to the victim of a crime and even a suspect.”

Omarr’s Astrological Forecast
For the week of september 30 - October 6
By Jeraldine Saunders
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): Put several irons into the fire. There’s no reason to limit your progress when you are capable of handling multiple tasks this week. Your creative ideas may come to the forefront but you may need someone else’s aid to make it work. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Stick with what works. Don’t waste time worrying over areas and aspects that you find difficult when you can excel by simply doing what you do well. Be aware you will be the center of attention in the week ahead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Speak from the heart. If you just say what you feel and don’t try to over think an issue, you’ll have no problem making a good impression in the week to come. Devote extra time to a hobby to provide a much-needed escape. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can’t have it both ways. This week both business and family may demand your attention and you’ll need to decide which has the greater priority. A close friend could be counted on to come through for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get emotionally involved. Someone’s irrational behavior may have you ready to lose your cool this week, but if you can keep your temper in check the solution should become clear. Maintain an objective view of everything. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A good chess player anticipates his next move. Make decisions carefully in the week ahead, keeping in mind future events could have an impact on whatever choice
you make. Create a pleasant environment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Build it to last. As this week unfolds, when you make a commitment to something your word should be as good as gold. Avoid just telling someone what they want to hear as no one will benefit in the long run. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Conventional wisdom may not apply. You may not get to the bottom of a problem unless you come up with a creative solution. Put good ideas to work this week, as they’ll do little good stuck in your head. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Share your thoughts. You may find satisfaction by expressing yourself through creative or artistic outlets this week. Others may gain insight into what makes you tick when you engage them in deep, meaningful discussions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put your own spin on it. While someone else’s methods may not work for you, there may be certain aspects of their ideas that you can put to good use. Don’t be too quick to make a final judgment this week. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Give a loved one a long leash. Give someone near and dear the space to do what they want in the week ahead. Making too many demands could result in a rebellion. A dream may not be too far-fetched. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): March to your own beat. What works for everyone else may not work for you this week. Follow your instincts and intuition. Others may mean well, but the advice you receive could steer you in the wrong direction.

wolfgang puck’s kitchen When Is A Schnitzel Not A Wiener Schnitzel? When You Make It Holstein-Style! By Wolfgang Puck HOLSTEINER SCHNITZEL WITH FRIED EGG Serves 4 4 boneless slices veal or pork cut from the leg or loin, each 6 to 7 ounces (185 to 215 g) 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper About 3/4 cup (185 mL) vegetable oil 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter 4 large eggs 2 cups (500 mL) good-quality low-sodium store-bought chicken stock or broth 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 1/2 tablespoons good-quality bottled barbecue sauce 2 tablespoons drained capers 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley 16 anchovy fillets, patted dry with paper towels, optional First, pound and flatten the meat: Place a veal or pork slice in a large, heavy-duty resealable plastic bag. Close the bag loosely. With the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the meat to a thin, even cutlet about 1/8-inch (3mm) thick. Repeat with the remaining meat. Spread the flour on a large plate. Working with one cutlet at a time, season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides of each cutlet in flour, coating completely and then tapping off excess flour.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 F (150 C). Place a rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 tablespoon butter. With tongs, add a cutlet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook the other side. Transfer to the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Cook the remaining 3 cutlets the same way, using a little more oil and butter as needed. When you’ve finished cooking the meat, fry the eggs. Heat the remaining oil and all but 4 tablespoons of the remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, swirling to blend. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper. When the butter foams, break each egg one at a time into a bowl and then slide it into the pan, spacing them apart. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft, 2 to 3 minutes, basting the tops of the eggs with the hot butter and oil as they cook. Meanwhile, pour off and discard the fat from the skillet in which you cooked the cutlets. Return the skillet to the stove over medium-high heat and add the chicken stock, lemon juice and barbecue sauce, whisking to deglaze the pan deposits. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the capers and season to taste with pepper. Swirl in the parsley. Remove the skillet from the heat. To serve, transfer the cutlets to individual serving plates. Top each with a fried egg, including some butter from the pan. Spoon the pan sauce and capers over and around each serving. Arrange the anchovies on top. Serve immediately.
